Live Repair - Cylinder Head Removal Toyota 22RE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Removing the cylinder head from this 1987 Toyota 4Runner with a 22RE.
Book time for cylinder head gasket is 6.8 hrs lets see if we can at least get the cylinder head off the vehicle in 2 hrs. The vehicle also has a slight timing chain rattle and will more than likely require a timing chain kit and timing cover. If there are broken pieces of timing chain guide in the oil pan the oil pan will have to be removed to clean out the debris.

I just want to say thank you in the mist of my breaking down in Flagstaff I’ve never done an RE before but this video helps me get through it. I thank you so much for all your help. This is a very blessed moment for me everything I trained myself for on the road as a tour road and getting back to him from my daughter and family. Thank you so so much I can’t thank you enough.
Meant getting to an from as a tour Roady
You’re very welcome. Flagstaff has that effect. I had to do a water pump on my hilux in flagstaff after we notice a puddle of coolant under the truck while at the Grand Canyon. I had every tool with except a scraper and 6mm Allen for my supercharger tensioner. It has the 3.4 out of a tacoma. Not what I wanted to do in the napa parking lot but we got it done.
Thank God I found this, head gasket for me, wee, thanks man👍👍👍👍
my sons 86 just blew yesturday replaced hoses and waterpump its blowing bubbles into recovery tank and smoking badly so at 169,000 thats not bad i guess, this video will help me, never have done a toyota but getr done
This is Incredibly Excellent. I just spent two days getting my 87 pickup head off. First one for me. Working on cars for 65 years and this one ( the complexity of it ) blew my tiny mind !!! thank you so much. You made it all so clear. I'd love to see it go back together if you have that video done already. Thank you again and again !!!
Thanks for watching. I was not able to film the reassembly process on this one.
Oh my God thank you for pointing out the Allen wrench bolt holding the intake to the head. That saved me serious problems. Thank you thank you
Perfect timing, just about to do a head gasket/timing chain for my 1985 4Runner! All the videos prior to this were old, grainy, not complete. Thanks for doing this.
What do u do for the head bolts that had alot of carbon on them I cant get the bolts to bolt back down I blew them out but 2 of the exhaust bolts won't go in
I either replace the bolts or clean them up on a wire wheel. A round wire brush and some cleaner can be used to clean out the hole in the block. Best method would be to run a tap into the block to clean up the threads and remove the carbon.
@@ThePracticalMechanic thank you brother 🙏 happy Thanksgiving to you and your family thanks for the reply
Hi. This vid was very helpful. I have a 93 Toyota piickup 22re. Timing chain broke while driving slow. 225k miles. My question is this. Is the 22re a interference engine? I'm worried about bent valves but can't do compression check until I install new chain etc. Thanks in advance
They are an interference engine. I’ve had them bend valves when the chain jumps too far.
I was just fixing the same truck. Thank God it was that power steering valve problem.
I think a gorilla worked on this truck before me, I had to put about 200 pounds onto some of those head bolts to get them off. And I put my torque wrench on it to see and I stripped the teeth in it.
I'm looking at my 1986 22R at 4a.m. getting ready to replace the gasket now
Wonderful. Head cam and not time compressed. I'm getting ready to do this job and I truly feel like I won't mess it up now. Thank you and bless you for this
A video of putting it back together would be even more helpful :-)
Good evening y'all!
Morning Brin. 🤣🤣🔧🔧
What a legend! Thanks for the time and explanation. 2 years later I'm seeing this. Start this tomorrow.
Any tips or diagrams to know where all the hoses go back to? That's the main part I am worried about whenever I start this job.
Sorry..the black automatic one and the red one that was on your tool box..I am trying to fix a 1994 22re Toyota pickup..I have been watching every video I could find..your video has been very helpful..
Hi, so I'm in the middle of the intake removal. I counted 5 bolts above and 5 below right? The through 6 mm Allen in the side of the thermostat housing gave/giving me a pain. However; I've backed it out about 8 mm but won't go any further (for some reason) but It must be clear of the head because I can slide a hacksaw blade between the intake and head where it obviously goes through. I'm missing a bolt or nut somewhere...I'll find it though. I guess I'll have to buy a new thermostat housing because can't get that crazy bolt to come out any further. What were the Toyota engineers thinking??
Taking my 22re head off with the help of this video saved me a lot of time and frustration. I'm battling some pre-detonation that I've thrown the book at and figured with all the quarantine downtime I would clean up all the carbon in the combustion chambers and intake. Would you still get the head resurfaced before installing new gasket or can I just razor blade the surface? Anything else you suggest I check while the head is off (aside for timing chain guides)? No other bad symptoms other than the pre-detonation. Thanks!
Depends on what was causing the pre- detonation. If it was indeed the carbon in the cylinder then cleaning that out should help and I always surface the head before reinstalling but you run the risk of having to running head saver shim if it has been machined before. Was it using any oil? If it had any smoking on start up or was using any oil then it would be a good idea to replace the valve seals while the cylinder head is off.
@@ThePracticalMechanic Hasn't been losing oil at a totally noticeable rate but it does smoke out the exhaust a tad on start up. Compression was ~ 164 for two of the cylinders and 185 for the other two. At either rate, I'll measure to see how much the head has already been machined (I'm not the original owner) and go from there. Thanks again!
@@ThePracticalMechanic Also the TDC markings on the Camshaft Gear and Harmonic Balancer aren't perfectly aligned but I heard this is something that is on purpose for 22re's. E.g. when TDC is set on balancer, TDC marking on gear is a wee bit left of actual TDC.
Thanks for your help always.
Tucson Arizona here
I’d like to say thank you very much. Just pulled my 22r for a 22re swap & someone wanted my head. I’m 17 and didn’t know how to do anything. I watched the whole video i very much appreciate it! You learned me a lot!
Right on, nothing better than getting your hands dirty early on.
How do you make sure timing chain doesn't come off the crank sprocket when you drop it down the hole? It seems like mine did because the cam is lined up tdc but the notch on the crank pulley is off to the left about an inch? Do I have to take off crank case cover to accurately put the chain on the bottom sprocket or is there a trick?
I had a bypass hose blow and i replaced that and the thermostat now heats up when i drive it at highway speeds. But it cools back down when i drive it in slower stop an go.is my head gasket blown?
Hey i got a question
I'm late to the game but have a 1986 Toyota 4x4 Truck, Carburetor. I'm getting small amount of black liquid out the exhaust when starting up. Does that mean I need a new Head Gasket?
Failed head gasket will normally give you a misfire on startup and white smoke accompanied with a loss of coolant.
@@ThePracticalMechanic Thanks for your response. No white smoke or misfire but black liquid, maybe coolant, coming out the exhaust. It's puzzling. It might be coolant but haven't seen much of a drop. I appreciate you taking the time. Love the UA-cam.
I managed to get the oil pan out by loosen the engine moumt bolts and jack it up at the transmission. Pull it out towards the transmission. 😮.
Where did you get that wrench
Which one? Is you put the time I used it in the video or what part I was removing I’ll let you know.
man i took mine apart probably wont be able to get it back together lol
Man this is great... new sub here!!! Keep them coming!
Woww!!!....I¨ve never seen a video like this...congratulations and thanks!!!....It will be great to show the re-assemble, start the machine and make the necesary adjustments to leave the vehicle at 100%. Regards.
unfortunately the reassembly process take a bit longer and was done during normal business hours so It would have been hard to film. Thanks for watching. If I get the chance to reassembly and run another one I will try and film it.
I realize this video is 4 years old 😂but you need to see my garage bench 😅😅 it's so bad my wife actually helped last week to organize a little bit 😅. Nice video, keep up the good work 👏
I spent 5 hrs Friday afternoon cleaning off my toolbox. I still need to clean my laptop cart and tool cart. I am always just tossing stuff onto any flat surface when I’m done with a job.
Radiator blew last week. Replaced it and it was still over heating. Turns out head gasket is bad. Doing this project myself will be hard and hopefully I can fix my truck. How can I tell if my block is warped? You might get a spike in views this week and it’s all me watching it over and over to learn
you put a straight edge on it is a good base line
I'm loving the POV angle... I wonder why!? =)
Because you like to test if you can make viewers motion sick as well!!!! Thanks for stopping by Thomas
Ha! Love it!
I’m reassembling everything and can’t get the rocker arm seated no matter which position I turn the cam? And idea how to solve this?
@@TylerHenricksen343 you can try loosening the adjusting screws so there is less pressure on the valve and rocker.
Make sure you are installing the assembly the correct orientation. There are alignment dowels under the rocker assembly or in the cylinder head. Make sure you don’t have a dowel in the rocker assembly and the head.
Don't like the way your running that wrench before you get it on the bolt head
So I justed the valves and it still makes noise. Does that meen the Cam is bad
Could I hire you to do this head gasket job on my Toyota?
This is really far out! You could say I have a 22RE boner....since I have owned this engine for over 30 years, no major repairs needed.
That’s great Paul. No little blue pills needed when you drive a 22RE. Thanks for joining in on the livestream today!!!
I thought I had a clean engine bay but this is cleaner I like it. I’ll be doing this exact same job in a week wish me luck as it will be my first head gasket job ever
any luck?
They needed to put a few more vacuum lines on this engine.
One think they were good at in the late 80’s. The V6 was worse. At least most of them connect to the steel tubes in a way that makes it a little more organized.
I was a ski lift mechanic I would be out in the weather below 0°F I still would not wear gloves. Just don't let the snow melt on your hand then touch anything metal your hands will freeze to it if they get wet. Gloves suck 👍.I live that u are doing this in real time .thanks for the vid👍
My hand stuck to my gate the other when it was 5 degrees out. Wet hands from clearing windshield and cold steel was a bad idea.
@@ThePracticalMechanic ya it's never a good feeling the worst I have experienced was climbing a steel ldder on a tower by hands melted off the frost from the lower rungs then as I climbed my hands we no longer melting the frost and Thay stuck 🤣normally it only sticks for a moment untill your hands pump a little bit more blood and worm up but man it would suck to somehow get stuck stuck 🤣👍. But when I was puting chains on a truck when I was 15 I kept struggling getting mad then I threw my gloves off and guess what the chains went in was faster and easier with my bare hands so I save my gloves for when they are truly needed and as for latex shop gloves I hate loose ones and snug fit allwase rip so ya I hate gloves to in personal with the work 🤣👍thanks again and watch this wet hands on this cold metal surfaces🤣
I want to know what battery powered ratchet you are using?thanks in advance.
If it’s the black one it is a Snapon 1/4” long reach ratchet. If it has red on it it’s the Snapon high torque 3/8” ratchet.
for the average joe, what are the must need tool to begin to attempt a job like this and what would the cost be... are snap on tools a must
I’ve done this same job in a field with random craftsman tools. Snapon tool are not required.
Nice I'm probably guna bee doin this later on to day wear ar you located
Southern Colorado
If I’ve already removed the distributor can I
Still set the engine to top dead center? Or does the distributor need to be reinstalled ?
You can still set it to top dead center. Easy way to do is pull the valve cover and rotate the engine until the arrow points up on the camshaft sprocket.
Thanks for the tip about the power steering valve. Omg, it was driving me nuts and I kept thinking it was a bad gasket or injector issue. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!! BTW. Great way to do videos.
How can I get to the second part
You will replace more head gaskets if you dont replace the hardware and especially the headstuds. Must do the headstuds or else you'll only get 20-30k miles.
Doug do you normally go with arp head studs or factory style head bolts? I’ve used the mls gasket on a few and found they typically don’t have issues but those engine were also studded. One was an LCengineering engine and the other was my 2wd daily driver.
@@ThePracticalMechanic I was told that they use stretch to yield bolts from a machine shop guy who I trust, I wouldn't say im a expert with these engines and trucks but im at a intermediate level. I've rebuilt 2 engines myself now the last few months and I like referencing these videos to make sure I haven't missed or skipped a step since I hadn't done it before to watching youtube vids.
Ah I see. These old 22re Engines don’t have torque to yield bolts but the bolts are normally in bad shape after the last 30 yrs of use. It’s still a good ideal to change them. Make sure to measure the head to see if you need a head shim. I’ll have to check my notes but I think the stock thickness is 3.800 or 3.400”. If the head has been cut too many times it retards the camshaft and you loose bottom end torque. Also make sure you brave the timing chain kit with one metal guide. It’s normally the same price but then you don’t have to worry about future failure.
At what points do you measure the cylinder head to see if it's been resurfaced and what is standard factory?
@@StanKindly from the top of the valve cover mating surface to the cylinder head surface. Original spec is 3.800” if I remember correctly.
@@ThePracticalMechanic Bingo! right on it - it's a new Vevor (Chinese) which are getting pretty good reviews. The price was certainly right at $200...I figure the old one was a J&C (now the Cylinder Head Shop) which I've read some not so good reviews. Anyway, we'll see. The rings probably don't have that much life left so nothing to lose really. Thanks!
I watch this vid like, almost once a month. As a complete laymen, It has been SO helpful to watch how you navigate the 22RE and its various components. Gave me the courage to dig into the engine a bit. Will there ever be a similar vid of a rebuild?? Thank you!
Great tutoriSal video for the hands on y that all ready know what not not to forget to remove what we didn't know from the beginning. Thank you .
made changing my 94 pickup head gasket so easy, thanks bud! really boosted my confidence after watching
Ok so now I watched and am at the point to remove the intake manifold. Got it off the head thx to your help. But what is the deal with the wiring harness. How can you remove the manifold with it snaking thru the middle. I was thinking of cutting a slot in the manifold but you guys have to know how to do that if you take the motor out.
@17:20 just noticed you still have the battery fully connected while you have your arms and wrench flying across it repeatedly lol... this gives me anxiety ahahaha
Okay so I have an issue I've done the head and I'm coming into someone else work but the cylinder heads were not aligned to top dead center I'm currently torquing the head bolts but I'm at a loss on realigning since the chain has already been removed. My top dowel pin is in 6 o'clock position on top
I have a 22re evrything is installed except hoses and wires can u make a video explaining how to get those things in place. Thank you
About how much would a shop charge to do this
Really depends on the damage. Most will be $1500-3000. Many shops are cutting back on these repair jobs opting for complete engine replacement only
Awesome vid. but your sequence is wrong on when you took the head bolts off. You can damage the head doing this. Just FYI.
Good
What state and city is your shop located at?
Southern Colorado. 2 hrs south of Denver.
What is a wobbly..show in next video please where did you get it
were those heads steel or aluminum
Aluminum
Just started watching as I have to perform this to my 85. Brother you rock. Entertaining no less.
Started this, hopefully I get it off before labor day weekend ends.
It’s the final countdown. How did it go? Hope you able to get everything apart ok.
@@ThePracticalMechanic I think I have another 2 hours to go. Taking my time. This is my first ever doing anything like this, I'm expert at changing tires and oil changes and that's my only experience with vehicles. Thanks to your videos.
Can you explain a way to do the valve stem seals without removing the head all the way
i have a blown head casket on a 1994 toyota pick up 4 cylinder 22re engine. i am a poor boy and will attempt to do the work on my own. I am doing my home work now that is how i found your site
i would like to know what equipment you use and what the processes is to upload youtube videos because would like to put my journey on youtube..
A cell phone will do the trick but it’s a lot of work.
Do your copper coat all the 22r head gaskets or just the ones you shim? thanks
Great Vid.
Do you have a source for that power steering pump switch/valve?
Both auto parts stores couldn't find it in their database?
'89 22re with 160K
Thanks!
Subbed and liked 👍
I did some digging and come up empty handed for the original style vacuum valve. I don't know if the newer valve will fit or not. The Toyota dealership may have to look at the old microfiche to get the part number
Absolutely love the show but he makes everything look super easy😆
How can that little motor have so many wires and hoses????
How do you keep fan from spinning while trying to get fan of
Where do you get the shim your talking about
Video I enjoyed your video thoroughly keep up the good work thank you for the value of your time both of you
What are the brand names of the tools that you use?
Where u located
Southern Colorado
Thank you! About to do the same thing!
Brand new fully loaded head on eBay under $300.
Where do you get your headcasket kit
i have a 1987 4runner too
that is another issue that concerns me is that the truck is so old .. where do i go for parts if i need them?
Parts are still available from almost any parts store. This engine was used in the US until 95 and even longer in other counties. Napa, carquest, rock auto, dealer.
Is it easier to take the motor out?
Aqui do Brasil, curti muito seu vídeo .
And great job guys!
when you take the valve cover off , will the casket have to be replaced?
The head gasket set will come with a new gasket for the valve cover. Don’t buy just a head gasket, get the complete set.
Man I hate the notifications on you tube I always get them at least a hour late great stuff I love y’all
We’re glad to have you for any portion of the stream. We will try to get a better schedule and notification system in the future.
Where can i find Valerie’s UA-cam channel
MrPalvis You can find Valerie’s channel Valamilk here ua-cam.com/users/vmascarenas
how do you git it to top dead center
Once you have the valve cover off you will be able to see the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the dot on the camshaft sprocket is at the 12 o’clock position.
perfect. i used blue devil coolant flush and it ate thru my head gasket doesn’t look too hard
What a great video! I just finished taking my head off. Only took me 8 hours!
Mission accomplished!!! The only reason I can take them apart so quick is repetition. I have done many of these over the years.
Bro I can’t believe what I’m watching there is no way you’re getting that thing running again. I don’t even know where to begin. No labeling, no proper diagnosis, what if the customer couldn’t afford extra work, dropped the timing guides. Unbelievable
🤣 I’ve had dozens of these apart and often reassemble them after someone else has taken them apart. Vehicle was indeed reassembled and ran fine. Just because diagnostics wasn’t performed in this live stream doesn’t mean that diagnostics wasn’t performed.
Dude a fairly good vid but you talk waaaay too much about non 22RE parts. Wasting time.
